That is not how these things work. The general public can only call for a investigation.

For evidence to be actionable it requires a chain of custody that is preserved from an investigation, independents are often not recognized as meeting these requirements for chain of custody, or the power of subpoena.

You also don't get the former without first having the latter.

What you call a contrived description is in fact what is sometimes called a modus operandus, signature, or staging.

I find it quite the toxic situation to disparage or downplay circumstances where people have lost their lives for nothing more than upholding foundational principles of law.

These after all are country founding principles that are required for us to survive, that all American's should uphold. They didn't get their day in court because they were silenced.
I don't think this is a useful model to have, because it's too simple and not actionable. Who is compromising you? What is their cost to doing so? What level of compromise can they achieve? If you just go "you are always hacked" what is your suggestion? That I never touch a computer ever again?
Generally Apple introduces features they think people want to use. So enabling anything that takes away networked features will hurt the user experience in practice. So... people won't do that.

I've smoked intermittently for years. Whenever I started back, it was triggered by something stressful. I don't know if it is the addiction lurking around even after not smoking once in 5 years. It is extremely calming in those stressful situations.
Wow, I never knew these deficiencies from gooops. This seems to me like a 'scheme with classes' mindset implementation of CLOS. Given the success of C++ and the like, surely there'll be enough people to productively use this. I'd rather have more "proper" CLOS systems in the world though.

The FP-world worked successfully in dusting mainstream to have rust be a thing, now if we could replace C++ (and simula and whatnot) class-based "object" systems with object-based object system with more advanced capabilities such as sketched in CLOS, that'd be nice IMO.

It’s tobacco - nicotine is highly addictive.

I never smoked normal cigarettes only used self-rolled tobacco without additives and I am still addicted.

Smoking cigars is different since they take out most of the nicotine carrying parts - at least that’s how a Cuban cigar maker explained it to me.
I doubt all economists agree on that because it is obviously not true. For example if there was a period where the CPI dropped combined with increasing wages across the workforce, that'd be pretty great for most people.

Deflation, in the abstract. is about as good or bad as inflation. Slightly better because a serious deflationary crisis is much less damaging than an inflationary one. You go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflation#Historical_examples and it is a whos-who of countries who then went on to be successful and prosperous and a few TBDs in the 2010s - there might be examples of catastrophic deflation but they haven't made it to Wikipedia yet.

Fisheries are a significant part of Iceland's economy, though.

Well-off European states with lots of sea (Norway, Iceland, Greenland, the UK) are disproportionately likely to reject EU membership due to the Common Fisheries Policy.

It's too bad that the EU failed to recognise, way back in the EEC days, that having all these countries in the EU was far more important than some fish. (And just wait to see what a huge problem the Common Agricultural Policy is going to be for Ukrainian membership.)

Tobacco is definitely enjoyable - just because you have to acquire a taste doesn’t rule it out.

Many things you have to acquire a taste for - personally for me that was any kind of alcohol, olives, raw fish, spicy food, oatmeal or even coding. None of these things were enjoyable or did provide pleasure the first times i experienced them - now i find it hard to imagine living without.
It's not just "whatever they are putting in" that makes them addictive or pleasurable. There's just something about inhaling through a little stick and breathing out smoke/vapour.

I almost got addicted myself when someone gifted me a nicotine-free e-cigarette. At first it was a curiosity, then I ended up puffing it regularly. When it ran out my mind went immediately to acquiring more, but luckily I was able to catch what had happened and learnt something about cigarettes.
I once read that smoking is a bit akin to a guided breathing exercise in that way - during those 5 minutes you breathe consciously and in a more controlled manner than usual.
I don’t know if its actually true but it always made sense to me.

Maybe you could consider Apple cables to be overengineered, but I can readily understand why a cable built this way - irrespective of manufacturer - is not overpriced. And it's not just about a chip.

The cable is simply factually better on every metric than the hand-soldered 4 wire el cheapo one at 15~16 min. There is no cult in that.

Now if one only needs to carry USB 2.0 speeds or a limited amount of power it'd be ridiculous to buy a 100+ or even 50+ cable. That doesn't make the cable overpriced either, merely overspecced for that use case.
You've highlighted the exact reason this is a problem for mastodon and not for bluesky: on the latter, there's a default, so people who don't realise why it matters don't need to worry about it.

For the record, there are other differences - on Bluesky, you use your non-default domain to login in exactly the same place, there aren't 'weird gaps' between different domains.

Denmark would give the USA Greenland as payment for the USA defending Denmark from a Russian attack of Denmark borders. More spelled out I can't.
I don't have the time, sorry. Too much on my plate! But I (and I apologize in advance for this) can tell you that one of the reasons why I would not have that much time for this is that I don't think it is fundamentally interesting in the face of a sophisticated adversary. Scanning files and memory or whatever is largely irrelevant in the age of exploits that completely compromise the device, all the way to a privilege level higher than where the actual scanner operates. Signatures fall apart if it is very cheap to evade them (and it is, with trivial modifications to payloads). Typical approaches to catching malware do not apply to zero-day attacks. They may sometimes work but my point in the comment above was to point out that this is just luck rather than a sustainable practice. Someone who knows you are looking for them can hide and lie far harder than you can possibly imagine. And if they've broken the system, they can use those very protections that were supposed to keep them out to prevent you from going after them. Kind of like how a castle is designed to prevent people from storming it, up until they actually sneak in and all those defensive measures stop you from retaking it ;)
No it wouldn't?
I strongly disagree with most of what you've said, but I think more meta, this comment is not constructive (in so much as politics/ideology is supposed to be avoided anyway), in particular I don't think posting a rant and telling people you don't care what they have to say is good.

In particular, "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
> How much would you invest for a given probability that the company you invest in will be able to manufacture intelligence at scale in 10 years?

What's the expected return on investment for "intelligence"? This is extremely hard to quantify, and if you listen to the AI-doomer folks, potentially an extremely negative return.

That is not now life expectancy works. You cannot take life expectancy at birth and apply it to adults by subtracting past years of life, because doing so ignores all the people that died in the meantime from related or unrelated causes.

Rather you have to take remaining life expectancy at any given age and estimate from there how likely death is within 1 or 5 or 10 years.

Also relevant is other existing health issues like COPD.

> I don't know anyone who enjoyed it the first times they smoked.

Cigars and pipes have quite a nice taste and aroma. I don't have any memory of not having liked it, so I must have enjoyed it the first time.

Cigarettes, on the other hand, did indeed suck so much that I never got into them.
Of course a simplistic analogy won't be good, on either side. In reality it's not a lone attacker, it's a paramilitary that is also the governing body of Gaza. It's not like a cartel invading Texas - it's like the Mexican government sending its army to invade Texas, then hiding its army amongst civilians.

And it's like this is happening in the broader context of the Mexican government believing that the US has stolen its land and trampled on its rights for the last 75 years.

No analogy is perfect.
Best case would be: they see the the analysis and say "fuck - that stuff is good. Not worth spending a second trying to analyze and decrypt it."

This verse advises Muslims to prioritize loyalty within the community during a time of external threats. It is not a general prohibition but a caution in the context of potential betrayal.

2. 77:16
This refers to historical examples of past communities who faced consequences for rejecting divine guidance. It is a reminder of accountability, not a universal statement against non-believers.

3. 8:15
This verse gives instructions for battle, emphasizing courage and discipline during wartime. It applies to specific combat situations, not everyday relations with non-believers.

4. 5:41
This verse addresses the Prophet’s grief over those who rejected faith and distorted divine teachings. It critiques dishonesty and insincerity, not all members of specific groups.

5. 3:141
This verse speaks about trials that distinguish true believers and cleanse the community of wrongdoing. It emphasizes spiritual growth, not indiscriminate judgment of disbelievers.

You seem to be making an accusation that Muslims widely practice "taqiyya" to deceive others. This is a baseless and Islamophobic trope. In mainstream Islam, lying is unequivocally condemned and considered an act of hypocrisy. While there is a narrow and rare historical exception permitting concealment of faith to protect one’s life under extreme duress, most Muslims have never encountered or practiced this concept. Ironically, those spreading this accusation often seem to know more about it than the Muslim communities they malign.
Unfortunately, when submissions get put back into a "2nd chance queue", the "elapsed time calc" is modified to be more recent -- which causes confusion. The thread that's given "new life" for more engagement now has a mix of real and fake "x hours ago".

RIP.

I am fully convinced that Carter is a true statesman, not because he was a great president for 4 years, but because he was great for his entire life for everything.

Sadly, we stopped seeing American statesman like Carter (and Reagan, Nixon). Look at what we had in the past two decades, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. You guys almost got Harris!

The trend also seems to be systematic, look at all those morons running the shows in EU, no wonder they couldn't beat Putin on their own.

Mr. iteria, we see that you've checked out a book by Marx from the public library. Why are you a communist mr iteria, and do you know that by being one you're putting our brave republic in grave danger? We shall revoke your right to work in any government position from now on.

How on earth did we go through all that crap in our recent history, and people still think that reading something is sharing those values?! And banning them preemptively?
> To make matters worse if your project grows so large that your hypothetical tests take over an hour to run, it sounds like the project would already be broken down into modules.

Story time so that you can revisit your assumptions.

Imagine your product is a graphics driver. Graphics APIs have extensive test suites with millions of individual tests. Running them serially typically takes many hours, depending on the target hardware.

But over the years you invariably also run across bugs exposed by real applications that the conformance suites don't catch. So, you also accumulate additional tests, some of them distilled versions of those triggers, some of them captured frames with known good "golden" output pictures. Those add further to the test runtime.

Then, mostly due to performance pressures, there are many options that can affect the precise details of how the driver runs. Many of them are heuristics auto-tuned, but the conformance suite is unlikely to hit all the heuristic cases, so really you should also run all your tests with overrides for the heuristic. Now you have a combinatorial explosion that means the space of tests you really ought to run is at least in the quadrillions.

It's simply infeasible to run all tests on every PR, so what tends to happen in practice is that a manually curated subset of tests is run on every commit, and then more thorough testing happens on various asynchronous schedules (e.g. on release branches, daily on the development branch).

I'm not convinced that the article is the solution, but it could be part of one. New ideas in this space are certainly welcome.
Maybe the PDP-11 is the one running the linked website.
I don't think you're analyzing this right. The web browser itself has no defensible moat. The reason that Chrome is winning is because Google has a massive money printer in the basement run by 3 guys and a hungry Alsatian (trained to bite anyone who messes with the money printer), and then 100,000 smart engineers desperately trying to find some application to throw that money at.

The result is Chrome, Google invests in it because they don't want to be intermediation between them and eyeballs - it's a strategic play, not necessarily a direct money maker. So that's why they do it. But there is no moat, they have the number 1 browser because they spend enormous sums of money hiring top engineers to build the number 1 browser.

And this has been true of the browser for a long time, Internet Explorer won because they forced people to use it and used a tonne of anti-competitive practices to screw the competition. Firefox still managed to disrupt that simply by building a better product. This is the clear evidence there is no moat - the castle has been stormed repeatedly.
I don't know much about the legal stuff you linked but I am generally supportive of most of the things Google is doing to harden Android against CSVs. If you have specific mitigations or policies you were thinking of I can tell you what I think of those (not all of them are necessarily positive) but on the whole the OS has been getting more difficult to hack and I view this as a good thing.
Two things can be true. Especially if they are at least partially connected.
That's the way I see it too. All that AI crap isn't going to make our lives any better. It even might have the opposite effect. Few people are getting super rich while everyone else just suffers.

But the issues you're describing are literally where the eBPF kernel module chimes in and what the process analysis is about, no?

You can detect a lot of malicious behaviour this way, where programs and processes deviate from their usual behaviour; e.g. trying to access files they're not supposed to.

* The main practical work the admin did wasn't solar but synthetic fuels cuz the Carter admin believed in peak oil. That's an incredibly polluting technology that didn't happen in our timeline.

* Aside, significant global warming became scientific consensus only sometime between 1979 and 1989. The global cooling thing above is wrong in that most scientists expected some warming and that it expects too much from science. It does connect to the fact there was real scientific debate at the time and not just denialism, it wasn't clear warming would be that much a problem.

This should not be a point against climate science - scientists aren't born with the correct climate model! It took time to get the modeling right, but once they did the predictions were completely accurate.

My history with networking:

- late 70s, rs232 terminals. well, it kind of worked. i spent a lot of time under the desk

- early 80s, frozen hose ethernet - i remember not being able to get a sun workstation to sit on the desk because the cable lifted it off too much

- late 80s coax ethernet all sorts of termination and other problems

- 90s twisted pair and hubs - things started working as they should.

- a bit later cheap switches came along, but still lots of wires at the desk

- now, wireless bliss.
